There’s only one reason to get a cybertruck, the one thing it is excellent at: grabbing attention.
Mission accomplished buddy.
Same with any sports car, come on
Demolition Derby?
talk about excellent life choices
Oh? How does it feel? Turnabout is fair play.
Good keep it up guys
Oh no! The consequences of my shitty actions!
“I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I’m richer and better than them.”
Later…
“Waaaah! Everyone’s being mean to me because I’m telling everyone I’m richer and better than them!”
Play stupid games…
Oh no. Anyways…
Too bad there’s no way to get rid of that thing.
says he’s been cut off in traffic
It’s Massachusetts. That their state pass time
been yelled at and given the finger
If everyone you see (Plus, you drive a gold vehicle. Talk about self-absorbed) is an asshole, you might be the asshole
Hey, the second state pastime is giving the finger and yelling in traffic. We take these pastimes seriously, like sports and drinking.
The only way he could have made it worse for himself is if he had an RI plate. Mass residents have never been shy about letting people know how they feel about them (for better, or very worse 😅)
If there’s one thing Connecticut and Massachusetts agree on, it’s Rhode Island (but don’t worry, we can all shit on New Yorkers together)
*pass times. As in, a way to pass the time, like with a hobby such as fishing or drinking.Edit: I stand corrected and humbled.
Wait, drinking is a hobby now?
Some people would say I have a problem. But according to this I’m a hobbyist.
No, if we’re going to be prescriptivists, we’re going to be correct.
It’s pastime.Holy shit. I feel like I just stepped into an alternative reality. Seriously, I’m floored.
I’m guessing etymologically that’s where it comes from though.
Yeah, they couldn’t possibly be yelling at him because he sucks at driving.
The truck probably is doing most of the shitty driving anyhow.
pass time
I just realized I’ve always thought of it as past time, I guess I usually see it written as “pastime”. Past time doesn’t make any sense at all, the way I’ve always thought of it. Neat!
“pastime” is correct. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/pastime
With a single “s”? I’ve never seen that.
Edit: until seeing this comment. Wtaf?
https://alexandrite.app/Lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16674217
Edit: Well, I stand corrected. Pastime is right. I cannot believe I never knew that.
As the saying goes, if you smell shit everywhere you go, check your shoes.
They call it a ‘Boston Left’ for a reason.
Dude who can take anyone who drives this thing seriously.
YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.
Me driving around in my clown car “I just don’t understand why everyone keeps calling me a clown and laughing at me 😭”
I laughed at a broken down cybertruck once from my literal clown car (an overstuffed Honda Fit) in below freezing weather
NGL, it gave me a serotonin bump
Laughing is one thing
Threatened is something else. No excuse for that
We all know this guy is embellishing. “My wife screamed how she would never drive it again!” No, that didn’t happen.
And then if it did, uh, good? Points to the wife for refusing to drive a symbol of hate.
I flip them the bird every time I see one now, fuckin nazi simps need to know they’re hated
Even if it is 10 degrees, I’ll roll down the window and make a jackoff gesture. Fucking clowns. I have appointments near a Boeing office, you’ll be shocked to know that more than a few Boeing employees drive Wankpanzers. Boeing planes are built to the same standards lately so it tracks.
Jaroje was so worried that he tried to trade in the Cybertruck, but with no luck. He said he received a call and a text from a Tesla representative saying the company can’t take the truck back, even after sending them the hateful sticker.
“He confirmed with the text message that Tesla is not accepting Cybertruck trade-ins at this moment,” Jaroje said. He hopes the community will set aside judgment and be open to differences.
The vehicles are so bad that even the company that makes them won’t buy them.
Judging this guy by the rest of the company he’s in as far as these Cybertrucks go, I wonder how “open to differences” he is towards other people.
Oh shit, I thought I was joking that he had no way to get rid of it.
Didn’t the people purchasing them have to sign a document saying they would not resell them to a 3rd party? Or did that not happen?
They backpedaled on that because they aren’t worth shit.
More like, they can’t sell what they’ve already got so they aren’t gonna take even more stock.
Fuck the cyber truck and all, but their sales numbers are still pretty good when you compare them to the other expensive EV trucks floating around.
If they were more affordable, I guarantee you that you’d see more assholes driving these.
They have thousands upon thousands of them sitting in their factories right now that they can’t sell
Why would you? They can’t compare in any real metric, cause they’re not a damn truck.
No they are not, last i hard they sold less than 4k cybertrucks.
Over 40k.
Yes, because they’re so bad.
Also because people don’t like to support the Nazi billionaire who is actively destroying their country. But the terrible quality control of their overpriced and poorly designed cars doesn’t help.
Those are two different flavors of bad.
You can mix multiple flavours. It’s like a chocolate vanilla swirl except it’s just two flavours of dogshit.
There’s always room for specificity.
Terrible QC is just the cherry on top. The things are just designed poorly front and back, inside and out.
Why are people defending physical violence over a vehicle? I don’t get it. Sure, he made a poor purchasing decision. No wonder, the culture war has been so successful at dividing us.
USA is all about class wars. No one else on the planet gives a flying fuck what you drive. But in US? It’s somehow the most hanious thing you can do.
Its a fucking car. Get over yourself. Musk isn’t hand building them. It’s easy to “boycott” something you can’t afford. I’m sure everyone here avoids amazon and nestle, right?
Buying new car is stupid regardless, but if my model 3 breaks down tomorrow, I’ll go buy another model 3. But it won’t, because it’s literally the best EV on the market. I test drove BYD literaly today, it is the 2nd best EV I’ve driven (and I’ve driven A LOT of EVs) but it’s generations behind what Tesla offers. This isn’t some subjective opinion, tesla is the best in range, efficiency, road noise, safety, software and “self driving” (while not ready, might never be, they’re still the best at it). They’re also likely the cheapest option.
You’re meant to skip that for what? Internet keyboard warrior fame?
It’s easy to “boycott” something you can’t afford
It’s even easier to cry like a baby about not being able to afford to drive a different car, when just the golden wrap on your luxury vehicle cost more than an entire normal car.
Nobody fucks with standard teslas lol. Even our wannabe pharaoh here is barely getting fucked with compared to the baseline Worcester experience
We shall see. Comments online surely show how unhinged people are. Or how about the highly upvoted post of standard Tesla being rattle canned with a huge swastika on it? 90% of the comments saw no issue with it.
And let’s not pretend it’s just tesla thing, look at Nvidia cards, people are rooting for People’s cards burning down because they couldn’t get one.
There are more examples, HPA in airsoft is another hobby I follow, people want it banned off sites.
Zero about understanding, no, people are just cunts.
I couldn’t care less about this golden twat, but look at any other post about tesla here? People are advocating torching them. When called out will pretend it’s only when they self set on fire!
I’m getting really tired of it. It’s just hate hate hate. Me vs them. I hope you see my point.
I agree hate is a terrible thing. Tbh though it’s ridiculous to try and direct your empathy towards the richest most unaffected people getting flamed for engaging in their luxury hobbies while vulnerable minorities are increasingly being targeted by actual violence.
Maybe luxury car owners, high end computer enthusiasts, and adults larping as soldiers with their expensive little toy guns should wake the fuck up to the situation that is developing around them if they care so much about peace and love. Hope you see my point
Nah, fuck that. People deserve to have fun and not be miserable all the time being there’s a war/famine/genocide going on. What exactly you’re doing on the internet while people are suffering? How dare you entertain yourself? And you hit nail in the head, it’s just whataboutism and jealousy. "If X is miserable, so should you be! "
Back at the boycotting something you can’t afford/want is the easiest shit to do.
Typical rambling argument against random shit nobody said.
You are the one using your limited time to jump to the defense of society’s lowest, most pathetic losers. Look up this guy’s business, he’s a fucking scam artist. Worcester would be significantly better off if they drove him out of town over his dumbass car.
You, yes you personally, should direct that energy into defending trans people and immigrants whose lives are actually threatened by violence instead of wasting it on wealthy people who are merely made “uncomfortable” by people telling them to fuck off lmao. You know, since you are the one who claims to be so bothered by hate and everything.
Or just continue to hallucinate and argue with yourself about the deep philosophical trimmings of whether or not anybody at all should be allowed to experience any form of pleasure if even one among us anywhere in the world is suffering. That’ll come in handy in the future I’m sure, especially if you keep bringing it up when nobody asked
I’m getting really tired of it. It’s just hate hate hate.
Then maybe quit supporting the hateful. If you can’t take it, don’t help dish it out.
Physical violence? Did I miss where the dude got dragged from his vehicle and beaten?
Go out in public proudly displaying political symbols, and you should expect people to answer back with a yell or a finger. A sticker about how your car sucks. Maybe even a blast of coal-rolling exhaust. Words invite words; symbols invite symbols - no one’s throwing hands, so I’d say this is just about how I’d like culture war to work.
You would “prefer” a “culture war” of slap fights and clever rejoinders? How bougie can you get without admitting it? 🙃
The musk nazi stuff is recent, dude could have easily bought the cybertruck before musk started going full nazi with the mask off. We don’t know anything except what the article says.
Edit: Man yall are sensitive. Unless I say Musk bad anytime it comes up, yall get the pitchforks out. Chill out, this isn’t an article about Elon musk even.
The Cybertruck was released on November 30, 2023. Two weeks before, he endorse an antisemitic tweet.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk-antisemitic-tweet-adl
You know when he apologized for it? November 30th.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/29/investing/elon-musk-dealbook-summit/index.html
Either this guy knew Musk said that and didn’t care, knew Musk said it and forgave him when he didn’t know better, or didn’t even bother paying attention to something that was national news at the time.
And whichever it was, it doesn’t speak highly of him.
I don’t have a Twitter, and I don’t follow Elon Musk religiously. I wish he’d go away, but, well, we both know that’s not happening.
Unless you were the one who bought the Cybertruck, this isn’t about you and I don’t know why you think it is.
Nazis Fuck Off. Their toadies, too. Off with ya.
dude could have easily bought the cybertruck before musk started going full nazi with the mask off
No, he absolutely could not have. Musk was full mask-off Nazi before the Cybertruck was released.
In 2023… no he wasn’t.
Yes, he fucking was! Either you’re an apologist or you weren’t paying attention.
Definitely a he said, she said moment right here. I’m not gonna engage with that.
No it fucking isn’t. It’s a matter of historical fact, and you are just flat-out wrong.
Also, thank you @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world for bringing the receipts.
Musk being a massive POS goes back years, but specifically entered the public consciousness when he called that dude trying to save the trapped kids in the mine a pedophile.
Where the fuck have you been?
Divided? That douche-whistle had so much money, he spent it on a golden turd. Not only did he divide himself, the dude put up walls to separate himself from the poors.
The article never suggests any physical violence, though. The problems he reported to CBS are a “hateful sticker”, “threats online”, “somebody tried to cut me off” and “three guys pointing the middle finger and […] screaming at me”. Not super cool either, but they’re not physical violence. Those last two might even be legal, depending on the circumstances.
For anybody curious, since the article doesn’t mention what the “hateful sticker” was, from a quick search it was: “NAZIS FUCK OFF”.
Seems like a good sticker!
Pretty sure the last two are not just legal, but required under MA law while merging onto any highway.
Really the bottom three, but that’s just because we haven’t gotten the nearly impossible to remove electrostatically charged stickers from Snow Crash yet. Soon as we get those puppies it’s game on!
Heh. Deep cuts w/ Vonnegut should’ve been a podcast.
